Re: "Rugrat Rag"

Larry,

Very fun...as always. I always like the lightness of what you write. They always seem to be fast paced and full of life. Well done!! I was wondering if you ever posted something fully orchestral? Everthing I have heard involves a keyboard; piano, harpsichord, or organ. I would love to hear your lively, playfull music played by a string quartet, for example. Anyway, I liked this one, and I want to hear more of your work. It always gets me motivated either to write music or to get to the forum to see what you have written.

Thank you for your music,

Thanks for listening, Mr. Paul.

Yes, I have written many full-orchestra works. Some are in the archives if you care to look.

Re: "Rugrat Rag"

I don't know about you, but in my head, I see an old black and white movie speeded up to ludicrous speed, with an old 1929 Ford model A going about 70 miles per hour around street corners. Passengers are flinging out of the rumble seat and hanging on for dear life. Women in elegant dresses standing on the street corners watching all the silly action.
Of course all the while being distracted by the scratches in the film, as it clicks frame by frame through the projector, rattling along as the arc begins to flicker.

Haven't heard that since I lived in Virginie. There it was more, "All y'all" . You Texans ever communicate with the Virginians?

We don't talk to Virginia folks because we can't understand whut they are sayin'.

That was fun Larry!

You have a vivid imagination, Mr. Dan. You need to take your medication as the doctor told you to do.

Actually, the music is about a little kid ("Rugrat") crawling around on the floor. If you listen carefully, you can hear him say, "Ooh, ahh, ooh" from time to time. I did the "toddler" sound with an instrument called a "cuica".
